FAQ

What is our Mission?

Our mission is to plan, organize, and bring your vision to life – creating the most unforgettable event.

What are the different packages, and can I customize it?

We offer a variety of packages for you to choose from, all of which can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

Why should you invest in a wedding planner or day of coordinator?

A professional wedding coordinator/planner is the team leader, ensuring every detail is managed from start to finish. Planning a wedding can be a huge task on its own, and with a busy schedule, it can quickly become overwhelming as the big day approaches. Let us take the stress off your shoulders and assist you every step of the way.

Have you worked with venue coordinators?

Yes, we have experience working with many venues, and they often require an extra set of hands—that’s where we step in to save the day! From the moment you arrive, we’ll manage vendors, keep the timeline on track, and ensure everything is packed up at the end of the night.

If I buy my own centerpieces will your team help me put them out on the table and set tables for me?

Yes, this is included in your package. We will arrange the items you’ve purchased on the dinner tables, signing table, remembrance table, gift table, dessert table, coffee station, and more. While we handle the details, you and your bridal party can relax and create unforgettable memories together before you say, “I Do.”

What previous clients are saying
Helen from SE Event Planners is a true gem. She is the JLO, Wedding Planner of modern times! She was a guiding hand in helping me with prepping of the big day, by countless calls/meetings where we went over logistics as well as back up plans. SE Event Planners were exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. They were super patient with all our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. Helen and her team were and are so sweet, down to earth and personable! From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all to make it even more special! Helen has a gift and those who experience her become richer because of it. Thank you all so much! - Mr & Mrs Vandagriff **On a personal note, thank you so much for all that you have done. I felt very secure and safe knowing you were by my side on this day, and also how much you became like a dear friend to me in such a short time. You have a talent, and this is amazing what you do!!
Mr & Mrs Vandagriff
Helen and her assistant are amazing! They helped everything go so smoothly, and she was worth every penny. She showed up to our rehearsal and helped us plan the walk in/walk out and she took notes about where I wanted everything to go the next day since we couldn’t put out everything on the day of the rehearsal. She showed up early to the venue on the day of the wedding to meet vendors and put out everything according to my specifications. During the wedding she would check in with me and my husband periodically to make sure if we needed drinks or anything else. She packed up food for us when we left the reception too and then helped my family pack up our decorations out of the hall. So helpful. I highly recommend her help. My sister has now been a bridesmaid in 2 weddings that Helen has coordinated and says that things were so much smoother and she was able to enjoy the wedding more because of her help!

Helen, deepest thanks to you for all your help! I so appreciate you not only marshalling people to help with the turn-around of the venue after the ceremony, but most importantly, ensuring the table décor and, really, just everything was exactly as planned! Even small touches like rescuing me with a cool bottle of water during photos and food while getting ready was so very wonderful and thoughtful. I so appreciate all of your efforts – and expertise - to help us have such a beautiful and fantastic wedding. You were amazing! We simply couldn't have done it without you!

No sabía la importancia de tener una planeadora de Bodas, pensé hacerlo todo yo y que iba a ser sencillo, gracias SE Event Planners SE planner pude disfrutar de esta hermosa experiencia, Helen estuvo durante toda la organización del evento pero sobre todo desde antes ella se hizo cargo de todos los mínimos detalles, llamadas con la familia, la música, la comida, los invitados, lo que más agradezco es que fue un apoyo emocional desde semanas antes, libre de estrés para disfrutar cada momento de este gran día. Les recomiendo a todas las novias próximas a casarse que disfruten al máximo contraten a SEventPlanners y ellos se encargan de todo. Tú solo vas al Yes, I do!!!

I highly recommend Helen with SE planners. We didn’t have to concern ourselves with organizing, starting from the church to the reception. Starting from purchasing decorations items for our reception according to our budget. On the day of our wedding, she made sure our bridesmaids were ready on time, in their place in the line up and ready to go into the church as the music started to play. Helen made it a worry free day for us as she made sure to secure all our wedding gifts. She also prepared the reception room before the arrival of our guests making it such a smooth transition from the church to the reception venue. Helen took charge to ensure that everything ran smoothly and we never had to concern ourselves with those details, except to just enjoy our special day. We are forever grateful. You will be in good hands with having her to make sure your special event a worry free day.

Helen and her team went above and beyond my expectations! She helped so much even though I just did day of coordinating. I 100% recommend her for your big day!

We used SE Event Planners for “day of” coordinating and she was truly a godsend. Apparently the linens were late but we had no idea because she just handled it. Highly recommend!
